Goth / Industrial / EBM / Darkwave / Deathrock music/culture, DJing, tech system administration, programming, the anthropology of subcultures, the study of religion, neopaganism, the occult, among other things... Boring stuff, I guess. Can I list coffee as an interest?
(In no particular order) Ronan Harris, Trent Reznor, Chuck Palahniuk, Neil Gaiman, Joss Whedon, Tori Amos, Michael Moore, Goddess.
Oh, you meant on here? Decent people, I guess.
... is life.

Far, FAR too many groups to list. Lately, been on a Collide / The Last Dance / Rotersand / Straftanz / bioassay kick, but my ears run the gamut from classical to dark rock to industrial. For examples, see above, and including: Abney Park, Anders Manga, Android Lust, Clan of Xymox, The Crüxshadows, Das Ich, Diary of Dreams, Faith & The Muse, Icon of Coil, Neuroticfish, Paralysed Age, [:SITD:], Suicide Commando, VNV Nation, :wumpscut:...
And, of course...
Like the music, too many to mention... a few that pop out: Serenity, Fight Club, Pink Floyd's The Wall, Donnie Darko, Clerks, Dogma, This Is Spinal Tap, The Matrix series, Death to Smoochie, Brazil, Time Bandits, 12 Monkeys, etc...
Doctor Who, Torchwood, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Invader Zim, Neurotically Yours (hey, 'net animes count as TV...), Angel, MythBusters, Futurama, Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Drawn Together, Star Trek, etc. Been too blissfully busy lately to watch any new stuff, but have been known to literally toss people out of the way in order to watch something. Lately, nothing. Most everything on sucks. Especially that French Hilton bitch.
Ethnographies on subcultures are fun; I also love anything by Neil Gaiman and Chuck Palahniuk. Need I mention that there's too many to list?
To me there are no heroes, only inspirations.
